Greetings! My name is Chloe and I have been passionately knitting for most of my life. As a dedicated crafter, I have spent the last three years sharing my love for crafts by teaching others.

I was raised in an environment steeped in textile arts, guided and inspired by my mother and both of my grandmothers, all of whom were exceptionally skilled fiber artists. I began studying bobbin lace in 2010 after encountering it at a historical reenactment, and around the same time I started creating handmade buttons while producing period clothing for family and friends.
